CVS Clearance Finds

On Tuesday, I checked out the clearance deals at my favorite CVS and found quite a few deals. Maybe you can find these at your CVS...or perhaps find even better clearance deals that you will share with us. My store does not have a specified clearance section. I found the following items on their regular shelves in the store:

1. softlips chapstick-lip gloss (this is in the oral care area) some were 75 percent off (making it $1); others were 90 percent off (making it about 40 cents if my math skills are right). I like this stuff and they make nice stocking stuffers.

2. Cold medicine...especially refills for things like the Neti-pott. I pot saline spray, cough drops, Sucrets sore throat medicine and more for at least 75 percent off.

3. A large selection of toys were marked 75 percent off, but I passed on these.

4. While summer merchandise was advertised locally for 33 percent off, I found several items, including beach towels, already down to 50 percent off. Summer toys were also 50 percent off and I bought some of these just because they were too cheap to pass up...jump ropes for 50 cents, etc.

The following items I found in grocery bins spread throughout the store:

T-shirts for $1. These have been $2. My store had a large selection.

A lot of the CVS-brand bath and body products for $1.50 (reg. $5.99 or so). I bought several of these to use as Christmas presents.

A bin of Nononsense hose and knee-highs for 75 percent off, making the hose about $1 a pair.

All kinds of suncare items from Neutrogenia and other brands for 75 percent off, making it about $2-3 a bottle.

A cart full of CVS-brand baby products for 75 percent off. I got some cotton balls and Q-tips for 25 cents. Not bad.

And, in case you do not know, the free gift for August is CVS chapstick.
